SVT CONTROL PANEL

Operator’s Manual Marine Diesel Engines

4.2. Panel Parts
PRE-HEATING
The LED light turns on when the pre-heating spark plugs receive power. It turns off after a
few seconds to indicate that the engine is ready for start-up.
NOTE: The only purpose of this LED is to inform the user, it does not act on the engine. The
pre-heating spark plugs keep working even if the LED light is not on.
BATTERY CHARGING FAULT
The LED and the buzzer are activated when the alternator is not charging the battery.
NOTE: When the engine is off, the alternator is usually not charging and this alarm is on.
HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The LED and the buzzer turn on when the coolant temperature is too high.
NOTE: This alarm should never appear during normal engine operation.
LOW OIL PRESSURE
El led y el zumbador se encienden cuando la presión de aceite es demasiado baja.
NOTA: Cuando el motor está apagado es normal que la presión del aceite sea baja y
esta alarma esté funcionando.
HIGH SEAWATER TEMPERATURE
This part of the panel is prepared to install a LED that turns on when the seawater
temperature at the outlet of the cooling circuit is too high. For future development.
NOTE: This box is checked for all panels except SVT 10.
FIVE POSITION KEY SWITCH
The contact key switch is directly connected to the battery (PIN 30) and depending on its
position (STOP, OFF, ON, PRE-HEATING, START), the key supplies certain pins/connectors
where the different electronic devices are connected.
TACHOMETER AND HOURMETER
The tachometer displays the revolutions of the engine and is adjusted for each engine
model. If the panel is to be used for an engine other than Solé Diesel models, the
tachometer should be adjusted (see Section 4.3 Settings).
The screen located at the bottom of the clock is the work hours counter.
The hourglass blinks when its counting the work hours; if it does not blink, it
is not counting.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The thermometer indicates the coolant temperature.
The pressure meter indicates the pressure of the lubrication circuit.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter indicates the voltage of the engine electrical installation,
generated by the alternator.
NOTE: During the start-up stage, when the key switch is at the ON and PREHEATING
POSITION, the meter displays the battery voltage, as the
alternator is not yet working.
